There are several applications that enable you to replace text in PDF files. Adobe PDF files can be created and read on various computer media, such as mobile devices, PCs and Macs, as well as multiple operating systems. PDF documents are generally viewed with the free Adobe Reader program, which can open all PDF documents, but Adobe Reader cannot edit the document.
